do we know what game this will be yet?

I see the admission prices for the friendlies, (except Tottenham) have been released:

 

Adults - 4 pounds

Concession - 2 pounds

U12s - 1 pound

 

Spurs game is normal league admission prices.

[Ribbit]

What are we doing, paying Spurs to come down?

If it was a Spurs first X1 then i think they would want at least their costs covered but i doubt they would charge us for a resrve/youth team X1 and if they were i think it would cost a bit more than £4 to get in.

[Matt H]

The Spurs game is going to be the normal admission prices for the season, (8, 4 & 1 pounds) to cover the expenses.

[Canvey Fan 1926]

dont we have to pay referees etc??? i heard in the nlp that you had to have premiership quality refs if you play a premiership team.

[Matt H]

That probably comes under what is on the official site as 'expenses'.

[Ribbit]

Maybe that's why. There's definately some kind of mystery expense there.

[Canvey Fan 1926]

ill check the referees out.

[The Great Eckscape]

These are not mystery expenses. It's quite common that when you get a large club going to a lower league club that the lower league club pay their expenses for the trip.

[Ribbit]

Ha. Bet they wouldn't pay ours if we went up there. Talk about backwards ideas.

[The Great Eckscape]

Yeah, it sounds crazy I know, but that's the only way that the smaller clubs can get larger teams to play them.

[pabird]

Lets remember we should also be looking for a club profit from that and any other game
